Thank You. -Come let’s eat it with tea Now we will buy some Malpua Fifty So we have got the breakfast from the front shop This is Gwaramari.

-Yes Which is, as you were telling, is like a fried bun It is very light and fluffy because baking powder is added to it. And along with these there is the Sel Roti and This looks like and Imarti(Indian Sweet) Yes but it is called Jerry, a substitute of the Jalebi It is very high in calorie Our tea is here And this?

-Yes There is a similarity between many food items in India and Nepal Like this thing is Jerry and it is like a Jalebi or Imarti Next Malpua too is very common and is prepared there as well There is Rabri Malpua and people also eat Malpua just by itself This resembles a bhatura, a thin Bhatura or Puri And this Sel Roti is a unique dish of Nepal It is our… -Unique dish.

It is crunchy from outside and is soft and fluffy inside I has saltiness. -Yes but mild Very mild Crunchy crunchy and sweet Everything else is made of all purpose flour but this is made of rice Why is it called Roti? Generally it is called Sel But then sel sounds same as cell or battery. -Right That is why they call it Sel Roti to differentiate It is like a Roti So that people don’t get confuse. In reality the name is Sel.

-Mostly Sel but then it is Sel Roti It is like What we call Puri Jalebi… -Yes It is the same combination Ya its like its subsitute Younger brother of Bhatura Swaari Thin Puri and it is eaten wrapped over a Jalebi The sweetness of the Jalebi slightly mellows down due to this. Jalebi is so sweet in itself. Completely dipped in sugar syrup Eating these two together is a different experience The nice crunchiness of the Jalebi and then soft Swaari Here they don’t dip the Malpua in sugar syrup sugar is directly added to it.
